COSTLY ERRORS CAUSED IT
The New Yorks Win the Indianapolis
Series Without the Loss of a Game.
Like the Other League Games of the Day, It
Was Not Very Spirited-Base-Ball
Notes and Gossip.

When there in a bad day and n poor crowd,
there is usually a good game of ball at the Ath-
letic grounds That was the case yesterday at
my rate. Threatening clouds were in the skies
all afternoon and when the game was called at
o'clock there was a gentle drizzle and the spec
Gators did not number more than 600 people.
Before the end of the first inning the clou DIS
cleared away and with a refreshing breeze and
brilliant playing. those who we're lucky enough
TO be present had enough enjoyment crowded
into one hour and forty five minutes However.
Dne or two costly errors by the home team and
better batting tine game for New York,
shutting out the unlucky Hoosisrs without q
run.
The absence of Glasscock had some effect on the
score but his presence would not have won the
game. Denny covered the short stops territory
without an error. and did some playing brilliant
nsany ever executed by the great Glasscoek. Ca
bill covered third base and while he did rot have
much of an opportunity to show what he could
do there, he did all that came his way. The
weak place the change developed in right
field, where Arundel put. He made two
errors that were of the costly kind that turn
game. Clumsy a runner, he was lamentsbly
weak on fielding ground balls, and missed about
all the chances that came to him TO take nice
flies
Boyle pitched good game after the third inn
Ing. In the beginning he seemed to have little
interest in his work, but toward the close showed
up wonderfully. Myers, behind the bat. usual,
was the life of the game, and that the score
kept down to what It was is largely due to his
careful work Pearce's umpiring was very faulty.
The visitors scored their first run in the second
inning. After Dorgan had gone out at frat
a grounder to Denny, Richardson got TO second
base hit, made third on passed ball by
Myers, and came in on Browns hit down to first
Mattimore then made a safe hitfor first. but was
put out trying TO steal second.
In the third inning Ewing sent pretty fly
over into right field into the hands Of Arundel
who muffed the ball, and the error gave Ewing
second base. After Conner had gone out on
sacrifice hit to Cahill, Conner made clean hit
into center field that gave him two bases and
brought in Ewing, with the second run. With
but man out it looked like they were going
to pile up several runs, but Gore went out a
fly to Seery. and Herman went out on a foul to
Meyers.
Tiernan went to bat in the sixth and got three
bases on a liner to center field. Dorgan went
out at first on a small hit. Richardson then
made q safe hit to center field and brought in
Herman. Again it looked like several runs were
inevitable. Brown sent n liner to Bassett, and
just as the lively second baseman was about to
catch it, Richardson ran against him and he
missed the ball The umpire declared both
Richardson and Brown out because of the inter
ference with Bassett's fielding
Tho eighth inning pilsd up two more runs for
the Giants. Connor hit to McGenchy. who
muffed the ball and allowed the runner to make
second base. Gore got to first on a safe hit to
Seery, and sent Conner to third. Herman then
knocked the ball TO Arundel in right field. but
he couldn't pick it up quickly, and Conner came
IN Gore went out trying TO make second.
Another fly by Dorgan to Arundel, that he didn't
get brought in Herman and ended the run-get-
ting for the visitors.
1t looked several times like the home team
would make some runs, and the crowd
greatly disappointed over their seemingly bad
luck. In the second inning, with Cshill out,
Meyers got his base on balls, and Boyle got to
first a muf by Gore. In his determination
TO make run, Meyers was put out at third while
trying to steal it, and then Seery went out at
first. The only time third base reached
in the sixth inning, when Denny got to second
base a muff by Herman, and stole third
Tierran's bad throw to second But Arun-
del and McGeachy both went out on
small hits and Denny couldn't get
home. There might have been a run
made in the eighth inning had it not been for
the bad coaching. Boyle made safe hit for
first base. Seery knocked q ball that looked like
il was going the right field fence. The
coacber started Boyle running and he had
reached third when Dorgan caught the pall just
inside the fence. Boyle was, OF course, caught
before he could get back to first. Denny fol-
lowed with hit that gave him two bases. and
Arundel went out a fly to Gore.
The pitching of Martimore puzzled the boys,
and when they did hit him it generally for
balls that did not get outside the diamond. Fol-
lowing s the score
